i get tired of dis thing about "normal " or "human" ehn!! wu's to tell us wat makes us human,- just becos yu cry and i dont cry does dat make yu more human dan i am? its not about been a real man or not[wateva dat means in d first place- i dnt knw] but weda u cry or yu dnt doesn t mean jack and doesnt say u-wu dey cry are mur human dan i am-it doesnt suffice at all.

one wuld actually wonda sef- wats d real essence of cryin? some cry in pity, some cry out of scorn, some cry out of misery, some cry out of pretence, some just cry for cryn sake, so if i dnt cry now iam a faker and not human ba! i guess i must be from MARS

i cried for abt 10seconds when i lost my aunt well it really shook me but it was the women around me that made me cry but before it came out i was already in a safe place where i believe no 1 saw me. i don't like seeing people crying publicly like that because it touches me and i might just cry

and i quote " Real men don't cry in public" What exactly is that suppost to mean? Is it okay for a women to cry in public?

It's just the way people have been brought up. I personally have missed out on a few important points from my dad, and yes sometimes i do cry, it's not my fault that he neglected to mention important facts to me, go blame the older generation.

Oh and BTW the way if you think it is OK for a female to cry in public but not a male, are you sure you weren't part of that older generation?

i respect a guy who isnt afraid to show that he's got feelings as well, as long as he doesn't get too comfy wit cryin! lol

some time back, i had an accident, was in coma for sumtym, when my dad came to the hospital, he put a brave face in front of evryone but when it bcame too much for him, he left the hospital room and BURST in2 tears! it was my aunt who followed him and saw him(i was told) there's a real man for you! there's no shame in cryin, it helps release all your pent up emotions, so cry and be brave bout it, sorry bout your grandparents, may their souls rest in peace.

I am baffled and confused. My fiancee cries a lot. A whole lot. I am the female. I've never known a man to show so much emotion so often. He doesn't cry over movies or the like. He cries whenever we get into a disagreement of some sort. I have no problem with men crying when warranted (death, divorce, taxes) but I'm starting to feel manipulated by it. Meanwhile, me being the female, can't cry because then he will cry. I just take it to the bathroom and turn the water on. I wish he would. Has anyone out there ever known anyone with this "condition"?
